I think you may be confused.  Having an ssh-agent running is not enough.
You must also have environment variables set so that ssh can find the
agent.

But if I understand your situation what you really want is agent
forwarding (ssh -A).  You're going from host A to host B and then from
host B to host C?  Or you may want something like keychain
